teaching languages at school Hi! today i wanted to talk about the way teachers teach languages (especially english) in France, and more how bad we do that. I myself am a student, and this year was my last one in "collège", which would correspond with secondary school in england. I could notice during this year that the french people's level in english is pretty bad, why? Simply because teacher's way of teaching. We focus too much on grammar, which is boring and useless! i mean, grammar is helpful, but knowing how to write in english isn't enough, we must be able to talk about something, we have to practice our spoken english! our heard english! written and read english will come after... And, moroever, good teachers seem to be pretty rare, they make things so boring!! Mine was just terrible and many students in my class just came to hate english! I hated english class, even if i love learning english! if pupils aren't interested, how do you want them to train? We really have to reconsider our way of teaching and learning languages. Now, here was my mind, if yours is different, please explain yourself and tell me if i'm wrong! I beg you to share your mind about what i said, or your own experiences with your teachers! And please, tell me what you thought about my first entry :) i'll maybe complete it later on! bye!

teaching languages at school

Hi!
Today I wanted to talk about the way teachers teach languages (especially English) in France, and more how badly we do it that.
I myself am a student, and this year was my last one in "collège", which would corresponds with secondary school in England. I could notice during this year that the French people's level ofin English is pretty bad, why?
Simply because of the teacher's way of teaching. We focus too much on grammar, which is boring and useless! I mean, grammar is helpful, but knowing how to write in English isn't enough, we must be able to talk about something, we have to practice our spoken English! our listeningheard english! writing and reading English will come after... And, moroever, good teachers seem to be pretty rare, they make things so boring!! Mine was just terrible and many students in my class just came to hate English! I hated English class, even thoughif I love learning English! If pupils aren't interested, how do you want them to practicetrain? We really have to reconsider our way of teaching and learning languages.
Now, this is my opinionhere was my mind, if yours is different, please explain yourself and tell me if I'm wrong! I beg you to share your ideamind about what I said, or your own experiences with your teachers! And please, tell me what you thought about my first entry :)
I'll maybe complete it later on!

The more important and widely spoken a language is, the less its speakers have to learn another language. Why do so few native English speakers speak fluent Spanish? Because wherever you go, there is always someone who speaks English. In France it's the same. French is official in 28 countries and about half a billion people speak French worldwide. So unlike Sweden and Netherlands, nobody will be fired for not speaking English!.
